In order to build a European Research Area in social sciences, the ANR, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Economic and Social Research Council in UK (ESRC) are partners within the “Bonn group”.
In this framework, these organizations have notably set up the ORA “Open Research Area for the social sciences” initiative. Since two years, the Bonn group has wished to extend its outreach outside of Europe by opening its calls for proposals to non-European countries. In 2011, a call was launched with India, in 2012 with the USA and this year with China through a partnership with the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
This call is open in the following areas:The Green Economy
- "Greenness and dynamics of economies";
- metrics and indicators for a green economy;
- policies, planning and institutions (including business) for a green econom;
- green economy in cities and metropolitan areas;
- consumer behaviour and lifestyles in a green economy.
- Changing life course;
- urbanisation and migration;
- labour markets and social security dynamics;
- methodology, modelling and forecasting;
- care provision;
- comparative policy learning.
Each agency will fund its own national teams: the applicants must therefore satisfy the eligibility criteria of their national agency.
